100 Posts in 100 Days: Day 73
Mar. 12th, 2012 10:31 pmEven given the clock change, I was up at a decent hour this morning, but I was so busy that this is the first real chance I've had to post.
Today rather sucked, it seemed as though all I was doing was putting out fires and wrestling with stubborn code. There was one thing I was doing that I expected to have finished by noon or 1pm, and I was still hacking away at it at 4:30. Got it done, though, and once the customer finishes checking it out, I can take it from the dev site to his site and send the bill, which is of course the best part of working--getting paid.
If this keeps up, I'll be making the leap from genteel poverty to modest comfort!
My new books arrived today, of course I wasn't able to do any reading at all, but I am hoping I can crack the cover now as I unwind--it's really too late to try to play my game, I prefer to have a couple of hours for that.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel on the critiques, I think--one guy's critique was so minimal that I don't know why he wasted the effort. Oh well--it takes all kinds I guess. I am working on a longer story so I can submit a critique on it tomorrow evening. I really, really, REALLY want to get a plain Kindle because then I can convert these things and read them in comfort rather than being hunched over at the monitor.
It's raining but incredibly warm--we'll probably put the plants out for a few days.
